"Billing itself as a “craft coffeehouse and apprenticeship program,” this Elyria Swansea nonprofit shop (with a second location in Globeville) mentors young adults from the surrounding neighborhoods in the art and business of the barista. When they’re not availing themselves of the drive-thru, regulars make themselves at home in the bright and airy space over coconut lattes, white chocolate mochas, or nitro cold brews and perhaps a waffle or breakfast torta. Feel-good energy abounds." - Ruth Tobias
